Duo face jail after they savagely beat man and left him naked to die in a skip

A man and a woman have been convicted of murder after they savagely beat a man before stripping him and leaving him for dead in a skip after a drunken night out.

Mick Hunt, 37, was attacked in the early hours of March 15 by Fiona Nalty and Arry Green in South Norwood, south London.

Nalty, 24, started beating up Mr Hunt after he tried to chat her up. Green, 22, then joined in because she was a girl - and both continued the savage assault as the the victim remained passive.

Later that morning, a member of the public found Mr Hunt in an alleyway, severely injured, naked, unconscious and barely breathing. He died in hospital the same day.

Prosecutor David Jeremy QC said during a trial at the Old Bailey that Mr Hunt had been drinking at the Port Manor pub where he was seen to be to be dancing and enjoying himself.

After a dispute in a minicab office, Green suggested to Nalty that they should go into a nearby alleyway to "sort this out", the court heard.

Murdered: Mick Hunt, who was left for dead in a skip

The attack on Hunt was witnessed by a 15-year-old boy who saw Nalty and Green kicking Mr Hunt as he lay begging for mercy on the floor. The boy heard Nalty laughing as he turned away because he could not bear to watch, the jury heard.

And when the defendants emerged from the alleyway, the witness heard Nalty say "we f****d him up bad" before they told him not to tell anyone about what happened, jurors were told.

The victim was found at 7am that day, the prosecutor said: "Mr Hunt was lying in the skip on top of builders' rubbish. He was completely naked save for a bandana around his neck. These defendants must have removed his clothing as an act of humiliation." Mr Hunt died later that morning at King's College Hospital.
